Awesome mic

I really like this mic. My first audio Technica mic (I also have a few other Audio Technica products) & it's great for recording vocals & acoustic guitars. I've even recorded some banjo tracks with it. My ONLY gripe is a stand mount adapter. Mine fell apart (see picture) where the mic screws into it & I Can't get it back together. Luckily I have a shock mount & mostly use it, but still...
But otherwise I like this microphone enough to give it 5 stars.

Audio technica AT2020

The Audio Technica AT2020 is a very good condenser microphone, it delivers crisp, clean and truly accurate sounding vocals. I use it in my home recording studio, and I am very pleased with the results I am getting. Shout out to Zack at Sweetwater for his advice and recommendations. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality condenser microphone at a great price point. Sweetwater rocks! They have quality gear and great customer service, Highly recommend them.

Rock solid mic

I love this mic and can't wait to use it on some upcoming projects. I only wish it came with the mount for a mic stand. I guess I'll be ordering one soon
Rated 5/5

Great vocal mic!

This mic has become my favorite for recording rap vocals. It captures vocals in clear detail producing a professional sound. I have a Neumann TLM102, but I find myself reaching for my AT2020.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Scott DeMarko

The AT2020 delivers in every aspect that you want a good quality cardiod condenser mic to offer. The vocals are clean, crisp, and very direct. The mic really gives a very airy sound which, added with a preamp or compressor plug-in of choice, is the perfect combination a good vocal is looking for. I have used this mic on Hip Hop, R&B, and Rock recordings. For the price, this mic can't be beat. They say you get what you pay for. With the AT2020 you get an incredible value in a very affordable mic, and so much more.
